225: Swimming in a sea of sharks morally with Robert Klinck

The Lion's Den For Business Men

Do you ever feel like greater success is locked behind a slightly immoral decision?

My guest today is Robert Klinck, an intellectual property attorney from Washington DC, and CEO of the game-changing legal advice company Klinck LLC.

He knows how to find success and hold onto his morals.

Growing up in McAllen, Texas, Robert always knew he was the brightest of the bright and things always came easily to him.

However, when he arrived at Harvard Law School, he had to face his reality:

He was just a small fish in a big sea of sharks.

Once he graduated from Harvard, Robert worked for a large law firm and then as a prosecutor in Fort Worth, Texas.

While working his first job, Robert was mentored by now Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, who taught him that a lawyer can be both good at their job and a good person.

Robert watched his colleagues and friends chase prestige and glamour, and wasn't interested.

He wanted to be a good lawyer, but he wanted to be an even better man.

Throughout his career, Robert has faced situations where he had to choose between perfect and good.

Slight moral compromise and easy trial wins or do the right thing and have to fight harder?

Robert speaks in this episode about how his decisions to do the right thing improved his life. Specifically, he has more peaces of mind and a comfortable lifestyle, all without compromising his morals.

If you’ve faced a choice between what’s right and hard and what's slightly immoral but easier, this conversation is for you.

If you want to be simultaneously a good man and successful, take the time to learn from Robert's mistakes.

And if you're a hard worker, but feel that you lack the decisiveness to make real progress, hit play in the bar above.
